Ricky Gervais

Seven months after dozens of Netflix staffers walked out of work to protest a Dave Chappelle comedy special critics called transphobic, the streaming ...

After his alleged assailant was removed, Chappelle purportedly joked that his attacker “was a trans man.” In SuperNature, Gervais jokes about trans women minutes into the special, saying “I love the new women… “The woke mind virus is making Netflix unwatchable,” Elon Musk tweeted last month.

On the heels of Dave Chappelle's controversial Netflix show, Ricky Gervais' "SuperNature" is drawing criticism for his words on the LGBTQ community.

"Here’s my thing about the anti-trans 'humor' from Ricky Gervais, Dave Chappelle and the rest: it’s not funny. "I wanted him to know that next time, he should consider first running his material by people it could affect." To him we exist only as a punchline, a threat, something less than human," one person tweeted. At the end of his hour-long special, Gervais told the audience, "Full disclosure: In real life of course I support trans rights. "Ricky Gervais has a new stand up show out on Netflix today. While Netflix is home to some groundbreaking LGBTQ shows, it refuses to enforce its own policy in comedy." "You can’t predict what will be offensive in the future," he says. Meanwhile, there are PLENTY of funny LGBTQ comedians to support." "We're trying to make you laugh. Trying to make you have a good time." What if she rapes you, you (expletive) TERF?" the comedian says in a back-and-forth exchange. The one thing you should never joke about is the trans issue.

"Not everyone will like -- or agree with -- everything on our service," reads a statement on the company's website. Be the gender that you feel that you are," he says. From there, he clarifies: "The old-fashioned women, the ones with wombs."

GLAAD has responded to Ricky Gervais' new Netflix special, calling it "dangerous, anti-trans rants masquerading as jokes."

In October, Dave Chappelle’s special “The Closer” led to company walkouts and protests. Toward the end of the special, Gervais claims that he does support trans rights, but it leads to yet another punchline at the community’s expense: “Full disclosure: In real life, of course, I support trans rights. The old-fashioned women, the ones with wombs. The statement continues, “Netflix has a policy that content ‘designed to incite hate or violence’ is not allowed on their platform, but we all know that anti-LGBTQ content does exactly that. “Attention Ricky and Netflix: people living with HIV today, when on effective treatment, lead long and healthy lives and cannot transmit HIV to others.” “We watched the Ricky Gervais ‘comedy’ special on Netflix so you don’t have to.

While every title is different, we approach them based on the same set of principles: we support the artistic expression of the creators we choose to work with; we program for a diversity of audiences and tastes; and we let viewers decide what’s appropriate for them, versus having Netflix censor specific artists or voices.” I even explain what ‘irony’ is at the beginning of the show, and everyone there, I don’t know how many people I played to – half a million people – no complaints. “Entertaining the world is an amazing opportunity and also a challenge because viewers have very different tastes and points of view. Chappelle has since gone on to headline the recent Netflix Is a Joke comedy special, where he was attacked onstage by a fan while working out new material. His fans now seem to consist of right wing twats who think cruelty is funny simply by virtue of it being cruel and ‘triggering the libs’.” To help members make informed choices about what to watch, we offer ratings, content warnings and easy to use parental controls.” Gervais’ riff on woke culture and being canceled then cited Liam Neeson facing fallout from the Irish actor’s confession that he once considered a racist “revenge” attack. In his stand-up special Ricky Gervais: SuperNature, which debuted on Tuesday, Gervais cited today’s “woke, progressive times” as he discussed fellow comics and what is considered funny. Shedding his shock humor for a moment, he admitted, “In real life, of course, I support trans rights. You know, like, the worst thing you can say today — that get you canceled on Twitter, death threats — the worst thing you can say today is, ‘Women don’t have penises,’ right? I support all human rights, and trans rights are human rights. The ones with beards and cocks.

Ricky Gervais is taking a lot of heat over his Netflix comedy special where he takes aim at the trans community.

“5 minutes in and he’s making jokes about trans women attacking & raping people in public bathrooms. Ricky Gervais could go after the governments, banks, billionaires. At the end of the special, Gervais issued a disclaimer that his jokes aimed at the trans community were solely for shock value: “Full disclosure: In real life of course I support trans rights,” Gervais explained. To him we exist only as a punchline, a threat, something less than human.” In an interview with Stephen Colbert on Late Night last week to promote the special, Gervais defended his decision to joke about “taboo” subjects, saying he wants to take “smart” audiences to a place they haven’t been before.

The old-fashioned women, the ones with wombs. Perhaps most bafflingly, the comedian claims at the end of the special: “In real life of course I support trans rights. The ones with beards and cocks.

In “SuperNature,” released Tuesday on the streaming service, Gervais jokes about “old-fashioned women. They're the ones with wombs.”

His trans mockery comes early in the “SuperNature” special, in which he also targets Asians and the Holocaust, among others. Last year, Chappelle and Netflix created a furor when his stand-up special, “The Closer,” was accused of anti-trans humor by gay rights groups and some Netflix employees. But transgender and LGBTQ defenders fired back, with GLAAD asserting that the special violates a Netflix policy against content designed to incite hate or violence. “It’s full of graphic, dangerous, anti-trans rants masquerading as jokes," along with anti-gay rhetoric and inaccurate statements on HIV. He then imagines a conversation with such a woman who objects to sharing a restroom with a trans woman. They're the ones with wombs.”

Comedian criticised for 'dangerous' special, in which he says he supports trans rights while making jokes about the genitalia of trans women and HIV.

Ted Sarandos, the chief executive of Netflix, has defended Chappelle’s special, saying: “You can’t please everybody or the content would be pretty dull. I’ll take pills for the rest of my life.’” “While Netflix is home to some groundbreaking LGBTQ shows, it refuses to enforce its own policy in comedy. “I support all human rights, and trans rights are human rights. The ones with beards and cocks.” He then imagines a conversation with a woman who objects to sharing a bathroom with a trans woman: “They are ladies, look at their pronouns. “Full disclosure: in real life, of course, I support trans rights,” Gervais later says.

“It's full of graphic, dangerous, anti-trans rants masquerading as jokes. He also spouts anti-gay rhetoric & spreads inaccurate information about HIV,” GLAAD ...

I can’t mention him anymore, he’s canceled,” he said.) He also made jokes about pedophiles and equated people not conforming to the gender binary as a mere trend. “While Netflix is home to some groundbreaking LGBTQ shows, it refuses to enforce its own policy in comedy,” the organization wrote. Netflix allowing bigoted behavior from comedians like Gervais and Chappelle, who were funny last century, fuels the fire of hatred toward people who are already at the most risk of facing violence for their identities. “I love the new women. He then made fun of “woke comedy,” or whatever that means. Use your preferred pronouns,” he said. That’s why I include them.” Netflix has a policy that content "designed to incite hate or violence" is not allowed on their platform, but we all know that anti-LGBTQ content does exactly that. While Netflix is home to some groundbreaking LGBTQ shows, it refuses to enforce its own policy in comedy. “They’re as good as gold, I love them. “Attention Ricky and Netflix: people living with HIV today, when on effective treatment, lead long and healthy lives and cannot transmit HIV to others. (At least Netflix dropped the special before Pride month.)

Ricky Gervais is defending "taboo humor" amid ongoing backlash over his Netflix special "SuperNature" in which he was called out for "transphobic" jokes.

“Real life is much worse,” Gervais spilled on “The One Show.” “These are just jokes. “Humor gets us over bad stuff,” declared Gervais. “That’s why I laugh about terrifying bad things. They’re just for you to laugh for an hour or so.” The special sparked outrage in online LGBTQ circles as commenters accused the comic of punching down at a marginalized community -— with some even threatening to cancel their Netflix subscription.
